Hello All! Just missing you guys,,, I have been sanding and sanding and there is a lot more or dust ahead. I am taking my time with this “crucial task” It´s quite easy to ruin the work done so far being impatience. Sometime one feels like walking on the edge using that mini hand sander. Here are some pics.

Hello Bugra! I´ll copy that idea of the syrege for the PVA... I always pour a small amount of it on the table and use a 3mm brush to put in place the glue. Your idea look faster. Good one! best wishes! Daniel.

Hello Richard, I cannot help you., any pic or sketch of the missing piece you´re talking about? Daniel.

Way to go Guy! I am fairing the exterior of the hull and I spent yesterday like an hour and a halve only in fore part. No need to rush. keep the pics coming. Best wishes. Daniel.

hey raft! I have described all the woods I´m using on post #46, page #4. Hope will help you. Daniel.

Hello Eric! There is no rising wood in the plans. Do not glue the shoe to the keel till you have complete all the fraiming. Even being extrimly careful while sanding you might damage the edges of the shoe timber. I also recomend you to use a different color for the shoe to enphasize both parts. Best wishes! daniel.

Truly Industrial work Piet. I can hear the noise of the lid opening and the AA gun raising from its tube from here in Spain... Best wishes! daniel.

Congrats Grant! A trully museum model for your own, your family and your friends. Beautyful. Daniel.

Nice scarf Eric! Where did you get those hand sanders? Any web page I can order from? Don´t trick you to much with the rising wood and other stuff. If I were you I would stick to the plans you have. There are inacuracies of course but you will haave to deal with them... See the other logs, specially Wang´s log as inspiration, then make your own decisions. Good luck! daniel.

Hello SpongeBob (Do you have a real name? with respect.) For the first one question, is not a compound one but a "plain one" quite easy to do. The second one... you are right, no rising wood, no filling pieces for the the water go to the limber... So many questions, decisions, decisions... Good luck! Daniel.

Hello hello and happy 352 days ahead!! Thanks Guy I hope so... Finally I have glued the double ribbands to the ends of the frames. The hull feels now like a complete piece of cherry wood. Sure I’m going to be able to sand it properly. Before, the whole thing felt kind of weak but now with those momentary 4x4 beams … wow… It is robustly. Here we go... Now the scary thing… Sand it. Before to glue the 4x4 beams I just checked the level of both lower deck clamps and surprising to me they are leveled! ... Three points for me !!! Best wishes! (To me and the Triton) Daniel.

Go for it Randall! We´ll be here waiting...!! Daniel.

Hello Ed! The keelson plus the upper keelson make a massive beam that gives an idea of the titanic effort for the solicitations of the entire hull… Wow! What is the height (or dimensions _x_) of both of them for real? Measuring the two parts beam from the top of the keel. I am just curious. Best wishes! Daniel.

Hello Egen! Beautiful work as always. A table saw is one of the machines on my list for this year... I am kind of "slow" so I have make a sketch to see if I have understood the idea of your device. Tell me if I´m right or wrong please. I´ll erase the post if you want. I do not want to confused the people... best wishes! Daniel.

Hello and Hola! I have not try the drawplate. I was tempted but I prefer to complete the lower deck clamp and move on. Beside I have to screw the clamp to the table and I need that space on the table for the sand disc machine. Any way here are some pics. Without a doubt It has been the worst piece I have had to do. More difficult than the hawse pieces or the stern cant frames. The clamp is really thick and I have been boiling the different pieces, one every single day. Glue it while “fresh” and let it dry for at least 24 hours… The Admiral was starting to look at me kind of weird… Those "poles" to keep the piece in place are bamboo sticks, pretty cheap and disposables. I will spend next week sand the exterior of the hull and cleaning all the patterns. Wish me luck!! Daniel.

Randall, We love pics and more pics, you do not bother us at all! You can buy the Anatomy of the Ship book series, the HMS Diana for example. Those a pretty good books and quite cheap. best wishes. Daniel.

Wow!! Excellent job Grant. How you "gave" that sensation of heavyness to the ropes? especially the one that rest on the barrels. The rope of the anchor looks like actually weights hundreds of pounds... Daniel.

Escellent hand made tools Bugra! Sorry about the picture thing. They talk by themselves... Your cross section is going to be a beauty! Good work. Best wishes, Daniel.

Welcome aboard Bugra! A pity the quality of the pics... Are the old ones or are you using a mobile phone? Good work so far! Danioel.

Hello All! Thanks Wacko, Christian and Wang! (Wang you have to start another log here, you have a lot of followers...come on, come on...) Not an update but three pics three of my brand new drawplate!!! I got some extra money these days and I made my mind and I finally bought it yesterday. I got it from a jeweler supplier shop. Is here in Madrid. Cannot wait to use it. It cost me 54.26€ aouch!! #1 is 2mm and #10 is 1mm... Happy modelling! Daniel.

8:22 AM. With those square doors that tiny superstructure make the impression of a little house to me. It could be design in our days from MVRDV dutch architects for example... Watching so many movies with all the doors with round corners have "intoxicated" me. Funny how the things were done on 1939 or before and how the designe of a single door has changed over the years. Here´s a pic I have found on inet, you might have it. With the amount of pics on your log, I´m sure will be here... Anyway It´s another one that goes to my wall on a frame! Happy day! Daniel.
